Human Rights of the Refugee Under International Law

by Dr. Ruwantissa Abeyratne

This is a disgrace. That we are letting people die and seeing dead bodies on the beaches, when together, Europe is such a wealthy place. We should be able to fashion a short-term response, not just a long-term response.

…Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales

( September 4, 2015, Montreal, Sri Lanka Guardian) The website of RT Question More records that: “Europe’s migrant crisis has been dubbed the worst since WWII with a record number of 107,500 migrants crossing the EU’s borders in July. Tens of thousands of people are fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East and North Africa to start a new life in Europe, but many meet a tragic end there”.
